The SWAP area ("/swap") is 6GB. And two additional area's, "/usr", 60GB, And one personal area which I expect to remake using GBDE (after everything is up and running,) that's about 90GB or so... This is about 170GB, the disk shows 238GB, and the rest was unallocated. I also tried putting something else up, OpenBSD, before I did any of this. That didn't help -- the error was unchanged. (Just the major number was incremented, of course.)
